lounging on the lawn

I love the holidays. I love days off work. I love leisurely afternoons involving sunshine, picture perfect beachside towns and my sweet little girl. Most of all I love that I was able to combine all these with the treat of having my sister in town, even if it’s only for a few days for...

I Heart America

Happy Fourth indeed! I LOVE celebrating Independence Day! Red, white and blue infiltrates every avenue and the perfectly crisp and patriotic color palette looks sweet as can be on everything from food to fashion to the night sky. Navy and red become favorites and stripes…. oh stripes. I can’t get enough! I love finding spirited...

the art of simple

Danielle and I stopped by Michael Granberry’s The Art of Simple gallery in Seaside during our playdate and I thought the place deserved its own post.

The usual activities have been put on hold — thanks to (literally) freezing temperatures — and nights inside have taken over. Heaters are on and fires are ablaze!...

‘Great Southern’ Food on the Beach

As I mentioned before, I tried to spend as much time as possible at the beach this weekend between all the wedding fun. The weather was beyond perfect — just what postcards are made of. I didn’t even want to leave to eat, so I managed to get a little take-out from the Great Southern...

Seaside Rep 2009 Season

La Botana was fabulous last night! Date Night (and happy hour) were so fun! We mixed, we mingled, we sipped some wine, had delicious appetizers and caught up with a few friends — a great Wednesday night. (As a side note, we took full advantage of happy hour, with a half price bottle of wine...
